[Verse 1 — Socrates]
Walk with me through the streets where the echoes guide,
I never claimed wisdom — just the truth I can't hide.
“I know that I know nothing,” still I question the air,
‘Cause when pride becomes knowledge, wisdom isn’t there.
The youth gather 'round, but I don’t give answers —
I give questions like lanterns to rebellious dancers.
I’m the gadfly on the horse of the blinded nation,
Asking, “Are we awake, or just dreaming imitation?”
[Pre-Chorus — Sung, gentle, echoing]
In the silence of the mind,
Questions shape what we will find,
In the shadows, truth can shine,
Only when your heart aligns…
[Chorus — Sung, emotional, airy]
Truth is born in dialogue,
Not in pride or monologue,
In the cave or in the fog,
Let your questions speak to God.
Reason is the guiding light,
Breaking chains of inner night,
Truth in dialogue we share,
Wisdom rises in the air…
[Verse 2 — Plato]
I studied every word that my teacher spoke,
Took the lantern of his thought, now I guard the flame’s smoke.
Wrote the dialogues of souls, where ideas take flight,
Where the form of what’s Good casts a shadow on night.
“There is truth beyond senses,” beyond what eyes see,
We're just prisoners of images, dreaming we’re free.
The real isn't what is, but what always will be,
A realm higher than earth — call it eternity.
Justice isn’t just law — it’s the harmony of being,
Love isn’t just wanting — it’s the ladder of seeing.
Let your mind ascend — from opinion to sight,
Where ignorance breaks — and forms glow bright.
[Pre-Chorus — Sung, soft and reflective]
In the silence of the mind,
Questions shape what we will find,
In the shadows, truth can shine,
Only when your heart aligns…
[Chorus — Sung, emotional, layered voices]
Truth is born in dialogue,
Not in pride or monologue,
In the cave or in the fog,
Let your questions speak to God.
Reason is the guiding light,
Breaking chains of inner night,
Truth in dialogue we share,
Wisdom rises in the air…
[Bridge — Sung, airy, faint choir harmony]
Better to ask than to pretend you know,
Better to doubt than let your spirit slow,
Wisdom begins when ego must go,
In dialogue, the truth will grow…
[Chorus — Sung, emotional, layered voices]
Truth is born in dialogue,
Not in pride or monologue,
In the cave or in the fog,
Let your questions speak to God.
Reason is the guiding light,
Breaking chains of inner night,
Truth in dialogue we share,
Wisdom rises in the air…
